Birthday bonus

We had a lovely 21st birthday celebration with Nerea yesterday.  She enjoyed a “team building” paintball experience with her college cronies (displaying some horrific bruises to prove it had been great fun) before coming home with Alex to a birthday meal with melted camembert, fizz and cake.  She was thrilled with all her cards and gifts and still has the excitement of her Canadian skiing holiday with Bill and Alex to come. However we’re concerned by her apparent plan to maximise the birthday bonus opportunity to avoid unpleasant tasks by pleading that it’s her 21st birthday week, month and year!
